I have posted this page
http://www.yes2.info/?q=frontpage in the opening post of the thread, but I'll repost it again for anyone interested in seeing the last developments in the mission, told by the students involved in YES2. I didn't find any extremely helpful site about Foton, however.
Some amateur photos of the mission, the Soyuz integration buildings, the launch complex and "stupid things" (but always interesting to see for those of us who haven't been there) like everyday life in Baikonur, taken by the team, in here:

ok,perhaps after launch on http://www.space-multimedia.nl.eu.org/ 
Don't count it. John44 actually records those videos of Internet streams, so no live launch coverage means no video.

Maybe something will spring up in ESA's site between now and launch... but most probably, if we don't get to see it live, some video will appear in either that site or the YES 2.

Weired. ESA says that the webcast should have started by now as it was set to start at 12:00 CEST, some 18 minutes ago:

Indeed. This is going to be the worst live event thread ever if they don't sort it out!

Well, I make it that we're under T-10 minutes.
Given ESA's site isn't exactly something that updates in real time, I have a sneaky feeling the launch may have been scrubbed. That or they are still linking to a dead webcast.

And there goes the T-0. ESA still with "Foton-M3 on schedule for launch" - but that's an old story. No webcast. Rather frustrating!
